Caturday — Remembering Nikki

July 2014

I had a delightful garden client called Mrs. Rest. She was pushing 90. She lived by herself except for her lovely old cat, Nikki.

Nikki was the light of Mrs. Rests life, and she was worried that Nikki, who was 17 years old, would die before she herself passed on.

These are a few photos I took of Nikki not long before she died in her sleep, very peacefully by her beloved guardians’ side
